Reviews for Silenced

[jsamaha-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I'm rating this 3.5 out of 5. This is the first book I've read by Allison Brennan and I enjoyed it. Having not read the first three books in this series, I'm sure I missed some nuances of the characters and their relationships with each other but I don't feel like I missed anything important. I was able to get the gist of the past three books: Lucy was kidnapped and raped seven years ago...she is insecure, distrusting, and suffers from panic attacks because of that experience...her dream is to be a FBI agent but her panic attacks have kept her from being accepted into Quantico up to this point.

In Silenced, Lucy is three weeks away from entering Quantico. As an analyst, she's allowed to join her mentoring agent on a case (which turns into multiple cases). While this isn't literary fiction type writing, I felt that Brennan did a nice job having her main character connect all the dots without making her seem "super-human" in her intellect and abilities. I do think that fans of the thriller/suspense genre will enjoy this book with all of its twist, turns, and secrets.

(Desc. from Amazon)The Lucy Kincaid series is my favorite of Brennan's numerous series. The characters of Lucy and Sean are nuanced and finely drawn. Each book in the series explores their characters more deeply. As a writer, Brennan is a master of complex plot twists. Once started, her books are hard to put down. "Silenced" is no exception.

Loved this book. I'm so hooked on the Lucy Kincaid series. So far my favorite books are number 2 (Kiss Me, Kill Me) and this book, but I've enjoyed them all. I really feel like I'm part of Lucy's world when I read. I'm a huge fan of having a big cast of characters, and Allison has a seamless way of putting it all together. Can't wait for Stalked.
